That’s pretty blood thirsty. I doubt there are many people who are caught up in this being like “mwahahahaha screw the fools that trusted us”. It’s something that emerges from the legal structures we enforce.

Like maybe there are scientists who want to help these people but would be committing a serious crime if they released schematics and such. Even the founder probably wanted to get rich yes, but probably also help people.

I don’t think we need to be killing people and it’s kinda frightening that you go straight for that, I suspect if we dissolve the fucked up laws that force this sort of insane cruelty to happen almost everyone would be happy to work in an open and collaborative manner.

I never met a scientist who enjoyed handing over their work to some company.
